Hello all from Guangzhou,

My fiance'e just completed the interview at the US consulate here. Everything went good, they gave her a piece of paper that says "Final Processing Letter". It says she got preliminary approval pending submission of documents listed. The missing document was the "CCP - Submit a statement". We just wrote a quick statement, answering the 9 questions completely and honestly in English and Chinese. We to a local shop, printed it, signed it, scanned it and sent it to the email they gave us.

My question is, does anybody know how long til she gets the visa so we can think about booking our flights? I have to go back to USA mid-January. Also, I thought they would take her passport during the interview but they didn't. Will they contact her to get the passport?

Thanks again for the help,

Panda and Penguqin

GUZ is usually fairly quick with responding to updated information (within a week of receiving it). However due to the looming holidays, you may not receive a response until a couple days before, or a couple days after the Calendar new year. (Dec 28-30 or Jan 2-4).
